If anyone has a series two stagea in melbourne (ie NEO motor etc..) and wouldn't mind a visitor :-), send me a pm - I'm thinking of getting the wife one but she wants to look at one first..:-) I reckon it might go nicely with my R34 in the garage:-)

Ian u shouldnt be looking mate - u shouldnt have any spare time - I expect every waking hour to be spent sorting out that daughterboard group buy lol!

260RS mmmm

Valid point - that thread is a mess! I am trying to sort it out, but the original thread starters aren't being to helpful...

was that to be imported, or one already in the country. I think when i buy mine ill get one in the country already, fly to brisbane or something and then drive it abck

It was up in japan - so I would have imported it myself.. I agree that IF you could get what you want locally, that's a good idea... But that one 2000 series 2 manual in queensland is what is technically know as 'bait' - it hasn't even left Japan yet, so you can't go to queensland and pick it up! You have to buy it NOW, then get it off the boat...

If you are going to do that, you may as well buy exactly what you want, with a full auction report, in Japan...

looking at a 2000 model rs4.... but dammit none have LSD's!!

Unfortunately, all the stageas seem to have some form of tradeoff, there doesn't appear to be a 'perfect' one.. :-( ie they don't do traction control on the 4wd versions! However, in this case you're wrong - a LSD was an OPTION on the 2000 model rs4 auto, and was on the manual.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
